<p class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span class="s1">Press Briefing: The Impact of LTE-U on Consumers Use of Wi-Fi</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="font-size: small;">Everyone loves Wi-Fi. We use it for everything, in our homes, schools, work, and in public spaces. One of the main reasons it&rsquo;s so widespread and powerful is that it uses airwaves that are open to everyone, from households to community anchor institutions to tomorrow&rsquo;s great entrepreneur. In the 20 years since the FCC first authorized unlicensed uses of spectrum, use of Wi-Fi and other technologies that rely on unlicensed spectrum (ZigBee, Bluetooth, WirelessHART, etc) has exploded, adding billions of dollars to the U.S. economy. According to Cisco, about 50% of Internet traffic worldwide relies on Wi-Fi.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: small;">In recent months, Qualcomm, Ericsson, Huawei, China Mobile, T-Mobile, Verizon and others have expressed increasing interest in deployment of LTE-U.&nbsp; As currently being developed, LTE-U relies on a combination of licensed and unlicensed frequencies. As presently proposed, many experts believe this prestandard LTE-U operation will not coexist well with existing technologies like Wi-Fi in spectrum bands in which it is deployed. These issues are being discussed in the existing standards bodies, and the FCC recently issued a Public Notice to study the issue. However, there are concerns some operators will deploy LTE-U technology before the standards processes are finished. This could have negative consequences for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed technologies.</span></p>

en_US<p><span style="font-size: small;">Today's briefing will discuss the need to ensure that Wi-Fi and other new technologies, namely LTE in Unlicensed Spectrum (LTE-U), work together in harmony. Many experts are concerned that the current prestandard LTE-U operation will not coexist with current Wi-Fi technology.</span></p>
